Halloween Happening is scheduled for Sunday, October 29 from 1:00-4:00 p.m. at the Riverwalk Grand Pavilion, 912 Honorary Sindt Memorial Court (just west of Centennial Beach).
This free event is designed for children ages 10 and under, featuring Halloween-themed games and activity stations where they can collect treats and win prizes. Additionally, families can enjoy a performance by Élan Dance Company at 1:15 p.m., a hayride, inflatables, food trucks and Tot Town—a special toddler area. Everyone is welcome to wear family-friendly costumes to the event.
Thanks to the support of approximately 100 student volunteers and the event sponsors, the Park District is able to keep this event free for the community.
Food trucks on site will include Kona Ice and Badge Brew Coffee Roasters.
“We look forward to hosting this popular community event,” said Volunteer and Events Manager Becca Krzyszkowski. “We are always looking for more volunteers and invite high school students to learn more by applying to volunteer online at napervilleparks.org/volunteer.”
Families can save their leftover Halloween jack-o-lanterns and pumpkins for composting at the Pumpkin Smash at the Ron Ory Community Garden Plots, located at 811 S. West Street, on Saturday, November 4 from 9:00 a.m.-12:00 noon. Drop off your pumpkins or stay to help smash them directly into the garden soil. Now in its 7th year, this event successfully adds the nutrients of leftover pumpkins to the soil and keeps them out of landfills.
